As a funeral manager and embalmer, Claire Roberts plays a vital role in caring for our loved ones as we say goodbye.
Now, after spending more than a decade working in the funeral sector, Claire from Newcastle has opened up about what the job in an industry that is traditionally male-dominated is really like.
It comes as Claire, who works as a support service manager at W S Harrison & Son Funeral Directors in the city, is being celebrated for her work on International Women's Day (March 8), along with thousands of her female colleagues across the UK.
